CFCS Recertification
Thank you for applying to renew your Certified Financial Crime Specialist credential. The financial crime field is in a
state of constant change, and financial criminals are always adapting their methods and techniques. As a result, it is
essential that Certified Financial Crime Specialists stay informed and hone their abilities on an ongoing basis. Your
willingness to recertify demonstrates your dedication to high standards in financial crime detection and prevention.
The recertification process is intended to ensure that Certified Financial Crime Specialists continually enhance
their knowledge and skill for as long as they hold the CFCS designation. To do so, professionals who hold the CFCS
credential are required to earn qualifying continuing education credits through experience, training and education.
